Chapter 47 MEETING MR MONTERO The next morning, Harry came to see Mr Montero at the hotel "How about we go and grab a beer while we are talking" he suggested, Mr Montero wasn't one for chit-chat but still agreed to go to the hotel lobby to grab a beer, The two sat at a table, "So about the boy you asked about" Harry began as he took his beer "What did you find out?" Mr Montero asked anxiously "His name was Steven, just Steven, no last name, he was seven years old when he came to the orphanage, he was found Outside at the front gate with a note in his hand," "His parents or relatives didnt bring him there?" Mr Montero asked surprised "No" harry replied "But you did ask him some questions right, am sure you made police reports about a missing child before you took him in, didnt anyone show up" Mr Montero asked "Unfortunately no, nobody ever claimed him and about the questions, the sisters tried asking him but he wouldn't talk to anyone, even the police tried everything to get
Chapter 48 HE IS A MONSTER "How have you been?" Mr Montero asked taking a seat opposite Steve, when he looked at him, he was surprised to see him staring at him with a horrid expression "Is everything okay?" He asked masking his face with concern, Steve finally snapped out of his trance and shook his head "Everything is perfectly fine" he answered "Then whats with your face, you are sweating" Mr Montero said "Am sorry, am not feeling too well, where is Daisy?" He asked as he stood up "She is in her old room" Mr Montero replied, Steve walked out of the room and went straight to Daisy's room were he found her with Martha, He took a deep breath and approached her "Am feeling sick, we need to go" he said to her "What?, I told you we shouldn't have come" Daisy immediately walked towards him worried, she touched his forehead and noticed how he appeared to be having a fever, she turned to Martha "I guess we will just have to catch up some other time, am leaving" she said to her and
Chapter 49 INDIFFERENCE "Steve" Mrs Dante spoke softly, she recalled how Daisy had said she wished Steve didn't have to regain his memory, she had thought it was because of the way he treated her, she had been so wrong and blamed herself for being to blind to see that she was the one who had put her son in that situation in the first place, "Why did you marry her if Her father was the one who ruined your life, didn't you know him by then?" She asked "I knew everything, thats the main reason why I even married her, Mr Montero has always been clear on how much he loves his daughter, I wanted him to feel the exact way I did when he saw his daughter suffering without him being able to do anything about it" he explained "That explains why you treated her badly" Mrs Dante said with a deep sign thinking how Daisy had almost succeeded in getting her on her side "Does she know everything about her father?" Mrs Dante asked "I think she knows, she is very cunning mom, early when we were at
Chapter 50 DOES HE REMEMBER? "Steve!" Lizzy screamed in surprise the moment she opened the door, she had thought it was probably Alex or someone else at the door, Steve was the last person she expected, her joy knew no bonds as she realized that even with his memory gone, he still remembered, That only meant he cared and loved her more than he let on, she was about to jump into his arms when she noticed Daisy who was behind him "You, what are you doing here?" She asked, Daisy walked over standing next to Steve "Isn't it obvious I escorted my husband to see his old friend?" Daisy asked, she wasn't going to be weak and let Lizzy get close to Steve while she was around, not this time around, "And i would advice you refrain from touching him, I don't like it" she added and studied Steve's face, he looked at her and smiled "Honey, you are over reacting, there is no need for you to be this rude to Lizzy, I told you before that she is just an old friend" Steve said "I know",Daisy the
Chapter 51 SOMETHING IS WRONG Daisy knew something was wrong, she didnt know what to think anymore, She had thought Steve had remembered something but then it appeared he didnt, but weather he had regained his memory or not, she could not forget what she had seen at Lizzy's house, The image was still clear in her mind like she was seeing it all over again, she was hurt and stressed. Steve had continuously apologized the previous night but she just couldn't bring herself to forgive him, after the way he had been treating her the past few days, she didnt expect this from him, She was disappointed and didnt know what to think anymore, This morning, Steve had followed his father to the company, she stayed in bed without having her breakfast, she was in no mood to talk to anyone at the moment, She let out a deep sign feeling frustrated, suddenly she heard a knock on the door, she immediately sat up "Come in" she said and Mrs Dante walked in, "Are you feeling sick?" She asked the m

Daisy asked "I forgot my phone when I left the house but that does not matter, you need to go to Steve right now!" She said "Why, what happened to Steve?" Daisy asked confused "He is in danger Daisy, you need to go and see him right now" the expression on Martha's face showed how worried she was, "But cant I just tell Dad?" Daisy asked her mind filled with different thoughts, "Your father is....you have no time to tell him, it will be too late if you don't go now" Martha dragged her out of the house and led her to her car giving her the car keys "Go now" she said, Daisy nodded and drove off at the speed of lighting, on her way, she tried to call Steve and warn him but she realized she had left her phone in her old room b
Chapter 53 THE TRUTH Laura explained what she had in mind to Steve, "But how do we even provide evidence that the man that tried to kill was sent by Mr Montero?" Steve asked, he wasn't convinced their plan was going to work "She will help us" laura replied briefly looking at Daisy. After an hour, the car had stopped in the middle of nowhere, "I thought we were taking Daisy to the hospital?" Steve asked "The Doctor is already inside" After saying that, Laura sting Steve with an injection, "What are you doing?" Steve asked as his vision immediately began to be blurry "You should know I have trust issues, I can't let you see where I stay now can I?, " Laura got another injection and got Daisy's hand, Steve tried to stop her even though he was already losing his conscious "Chill, you are like a son to me, I would never hurt you and her, its not in my place to hurt her" that was the last thing he heard her say before he passed out. When Steve woke up again, he found himself in a

He asked "Yes sir, its Miss Daisy" Jonas said in response, "Find the hitman, find Daisy and Find the people that helped them escape, Now!" Mr Montero yelled, Jonas practically ran out of the room giving a silent prayer, After leaving the house, he went straight to the restaurant to get the Cctv footage and see what really happened.

He asked and she nodded softly "Am so sorry" he said "Yeah, me too, I feel sorry that I didnt realize this sooner, I hate Jeff Montero so much, the only way we get passed this is if we get him arrested and we are going to do that by all means possible" she said "Martha told you?" He asked "Yes, she told me everything, its funny how I didnt realize what kind of person my father i
Chapter 106 A BROTHER'S KEEPER Alex got home and found his family gathered in his father's study, everyone looked worried especially Steve who looked like he was about to cry any moment now, "What happened?" He asked breaking the silence when he entered the room "No one knows where Daisy is, even Mr Montero is worried sick about her, I need to find her, I can't help thinking if she is fine or not" Steve spoke "Am sure she is fine, we should all go to bed" Alex said, Both his parents and Steve gave him a deadly look "You expect us to sleep in a situation like this?" Mrs Dante asked with disappointment "See, that's what I always say, this boy will never change no matter what, he doesn't care about anything" Mr Dante spoke, Steve wanted badly to side with his parents as he didn't like what Alex said but he couldn't put Alex in the same situation again, he had realized his mistake so he couldn't repeat it again "I think Alex is right, there is no use of staying up being worried, we

"How are you even connected to my father, I mean there is no where he would just want you to kill Steve out of nowhere" Daisy asked "You are right, I did something a while ago, Mr Montero had me covered in exchange for any information I would have against Steve"
Chapter 104 ONE COMMON PROBLEM Mr Montero ended up getting One of Judge mathew's children and ordered jonas to take him away, he was warned not to go to the police or do anything stupid if he wanted to see him alive again, All he had to do was make sure that he did exactly as he wanted, the judge was left with no choice. Just as he left the house of the judge, he received a call from one of the men he left at home "What's wrong?" He asked "Its miss Daisy sir" his heart skipped a bit"What happened to her?" He asked "She is missing, there was an accident on the way, she insisted on going somewhere and one of the men drove her there but when we got there, we only found the guard passed out, Daisy was nowhere to be seen" he explained "How dare you, didn't I tell you to make sure she didnt leave the house, find her or you will pay for this" he said and hang up the call "What happened sir?"

Chapter 103 "Daisy, look at me" Martha said holding both her cheeks "You have to help your husband, Your father is a bad man, no matter what, he deserves to go to jail" she said "But how can I help Steve, he doesn't even want me" Daisy cried "Those were all lies, Steve brought you to the hospital, he sat next to you after you left the ICU until your father kicked him out, when he was arrested, Steve spent the night waiting for you, I spoke with him, he loves you more than you can imagine Daisy, go help him, he needs you right now" Daisy was surprised to hear that Steve had been there all along "But how, I don't even have any evidence except from what you just told me" she said "Look around your neck, that was your mother's necklace" Daisy looked around her neck to the necklace which she always had ever since she could remember, she took it off "What does this have to do with anything?" She asked confused "Open it up and get the memory card that is inside, I will leave you to it
Chapter 102 A MAN WHO GETS HIS WAY Mr Montero and Jonas went out to see the judge's family. After realizing that the evidence Steve had was solid and he was more likely to get jailed, Mr Montero was rather getting desperate, he came up with a plan to visit the judge and two members of the jury, this was the one way he was sure to win the case, if he had his way of knowing where Simon was, he would have already shot the old man dead. Jonas finally stopped the car in front Of the judge's house "Are you certain he is not yet home?" Mr Montero asked just to be sure "Yes, he has another hearing and is still in court, I cross-checked his schedule" he said "Are you sure?" "Yes Sir".

Jonas then rang the doorbell and soon after, a teenage boy opened the door for them, "Yes, how can I help you" the boy asked looking at his phone, h
Chapter 101 MY FATHER THE ENEMY Daisy went inside the house still deep in thought, she began to look for Martha and when she found her, she led her to her room, this was her only chance to confirm what Steve told her since her father was currently not around. "What is it Daisy, how did the case give, where is your father" Maria asked as they walked to her room "Dad might be found guilty, the evidence has is quite solid but I think its not enough, the final videct will be in two days" Daisy said. Finally they got to her room and she locked the door behind "Daisy, what's all this?" Martha asked confused by her odd behavior, Daisy made Marths sit on the couch and stared at her for a few seconds, "What's wrong, why are you looking at me like that?" She asked, in response, Daisy got hold of a picture which stayed at her bedside, it was of her mother holding her when she was only a little baby She stared at the picture, then at Martha and then at the picture again, Suddenly, she fel
